Outcome measures
Primary outcome
levels of physical activity (moderate, vigorous, moderate-vigorous); minutes of moderate-vigorous per week after 3 months
Secondary outcome
number of stairs taken per week, weekly minutes of sports participation, weekly minutes of active transport
levels of self-efficacy, outcome expectation, social norm, intention, self-regulation after 3 months
Background summary
The aim of the Activ2Gether (A2G) app, is to contribute to empowering young adults to be and remain physically active. A2G makes use of personalized, real-time and context specific feedback and an activity tracker (Fitbit). A2G uniquely combines behavior change techniques with a model-based reasoning system in order to provide context specific coaching messages. The messages are based on proven behavior change techniques (e.g., self-monitoring, goal-setting, social-comparison) and are framed in an autonomy-supportive style. Furthermore, social network techniques will be used to influence beliefs and subsequent behavior.
Study objective
Active2Gether effectively increases levels of physical activity in young adults.
Study design
3 time points:
baseline (T1): (intake questionnaire & Actigraph)
1.5 months follow-up (T2): intake questionnaire
and evaluation at 3-month follow- up (T3): Intake questionnaire & Actigraph
Intervention
A2G intervention will be delivered through an web-based app, adjusted for the intervention condition.
The A2G intervention – including tailoring based on the computational model – will be compared with: (a) the A2G intervention with random coaching messages, (b) the Fitbit condition, where participants will only receive a Fitbit device and access to the Fitbit website, (c) the control group, where the participants
will solely receive general information about physical activity through the A2G app.
16-sep-2016 NEW:
a) The A2G intervention with tailored coaching messages, social comparison and self-monitoring
b) The A2G intervention without coaching messages and only social comparison and self-monitoring
c) The Fitbit group with a Fitbit and the Fitbit app
